Touchscreendevices are increasing and becoming familiar for students. This research identifies types of screen touching during the process of solving problems using theGeometric Constructer (GC) software. We conducted a case study with Italian High School students using tablets. Since manipulation on a tablet is different frommouse clicks, this kind of research opens a new stream about dynamic geometry in multi-touch technology. Based on the research by Yook and Park, we observe two domains of manipulation, constructive and relational, which indicate geometric thinking through modes of touchscreen.

Abstract
Touchscreendevices are increasing and becoming familiar for students. This research identifies types of screen touching during the process of solving problems using theGeometric Constructer (GC) software. We conducted a case study with Italian High School students using tablets. Since manipulation on a tablet is different frommouse clicks, this kind of research opens a new stream about dynamic geometry in multi-touch technology. Based on the research by Yook and Park, we observe two domains of manipulation, constructive and relational, which indicate geometric thinking through modes of touchscreen.
